MERIT AWARD
Kent Ambler for his woodcut, "Midnight Gathering"
HONORABLE MENTION
Carl Crawford for "The Sax Man and Boy"
Both Kent and Carl work in somewhat unusual art media - this is not your typical "oil, acrylic or watercolor" and each of these artists show a true mastery of their individual media. Kent creates magnificent woodcuts and Carl has developed a unique method of collage on glass. I encourage you to click on their names above and visit their websites for more information on their art and techniques.
Today started out as a slow Monday and the big excitement in our little "pod" of artists was "Moe Monday" which means you can get any burrito and a regular drink at Moe's for $5.00. It's amazing the little things that can garner enthusiasm for artists who have been in the hot sun for 11 days and still have 5 more to go.
What a great lunch we had - Thank you, Moe!
Right as we were finishing up lunch, I had a visit from the Walkers "next door" at Citadel Square Baptist Church where the Piccolo Spoleto and Artist on Fire multi-media show, "Passing Notions?" is being held. Pastor David Walker, his family and his congregation have gone out of their way to welcome and work with Artist on Fire and the artists for the Passing Notions? show and to welcome the greater community and our Spoleto guests into their church and the multi-media show. Also, for the first time, Citadel Square held a tea room for 4 days of the first week of the festival, and it was a success - I ate there several times, and the food was excellent, so I'm already looking forward to next year! Citadel Square is a church with a big heart, and I was delighted that David and his family came over to walk through the show and stop by to say hello to me.
Pastor David Walker, his wife Jean and their children, Maggie and Benjamin
